Overview
Can We Reverse the Diabetes Epidemic?
What if instead of managing diabetes with drugs, we focused on reversing it? In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Sami Inkinen, CEO and co-founder of Virta Health, and Dr. Greeshma Shetty, a board-certified endocrinologist, to discuss an approach that’s transforming how we treat metabolic disease. They share groundbreaking research and real-world results that prove type 2 diabetes isn’t a lifelong sentence—it can be reversed with the right nutritional and care model.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
-
Why mainstream medicine still treats type 2 diabetes as a progressive disease—even though science shows it’s reversible.
-
How Virta Health is using a combination of nutritional therapy and continuous remote care to achieve Ozempic-level results, without the drugs.
-
The critical role of personalized dietary interventions in reversing metabolic dysfunction.
-
How a high-touch, tech-driven approach to patient care is leading to long-term success.
- The real cost of diabetes—not just for individuals, but for the entire healthcare system—and why prevention and reversal should be the priority.
If you or someone you love is dealing with type 2 diabetes, this is a must-listen episode.
